Feb 23, 2013

The Central Connecticut women's track and field team completed competition at the 2013 New England Indoor Championships Saturday in 24th place of 34 teams. The highlight of the day for the Blue Devils came from the 4x400 meter relay team that crossed the finish line in 3:52.43, breaking the CCSU record of 3:56.57 set in 2003.

Junior Shelby Tuttle, who qualified yesterday for competition in the 60 meter hurdle semi-finals, completed her race in 9.08 seconds. She finished just eight hundredths of a second short of qualifying for finals competition.

The University of Connecticut took first in the meet amassing 149.33 points. The Huskies were followed by Providence (54) and Holy Cross (51.33). Sacred Heart (51) and Rhode Island (50.50) rounded out the top five.

The Blue Devils will return to Boston University in Boston, MA on Friday, March 1 through Sunday, March 3 for the IC4A/ECAC Indoor Championship competition.
